The Mantle ecosystem is steadily gaining attention across the crypto space, with its native token $MNT showing impressive growth and the project itself laying down infrastructure for a financial future that bridges traditional banking (TradFi) and decentralized finance (DeFi).
Here’s a closer look at what’s happening — and why Mantle might be worth watching.

🔥 MNT on the Rise
On August 5, $MNT became the #1 price gainer across major crypto markets and currently sits within the top 35 cryptocurrencies by market capitalization, according to CoinMarketCap.
Its price hovered around $0.90, and its market cap surpassed $3 billion, while fully diluted valuation (FDV) reached $5.6 billion. These numbers reflect not only investor interest but growing utility.

🧱 What is Mantle?
Mantle describes itself as a “Blockchain for Banking” — an ecosystem designed to bring traditional finance into the decentralized world.

Rather than existing as a single platform, Mantle is building modular infrastructure to support scalable Web3 solutions, connecting banks, DeFi protocols, and retail users under one efficient and secure layer.

The architecture is focused on:
Modular scalabilityDeFi-native governanceInstitutional-grade access points

💰 Massive Treasury, Serious Backing
One of the standout features of Mantle is its treasury. According to DeFiLlama, Mantle’s treasury currently holds:

$2.73 billion in MNT tokens$337 million in BTC$392 million in ETH$270 million in stablecoins
Total value across all assets exceeds $3.7 billion.
These reserves give Mantle unmatched flexibility in funding development, rewarding the community, and maintaining ecosystem health.

🤝 Strategic Partnerships
Mantle has secured deep integration with Bybit, one of the leading global crypto exchanges:

Bybit’s Co-CEO and Head of Spot have joined Mantle’s ecosystem council — indicating long-term alignment.MNT holders enjoy exclusive access to:Bybit LaunchpadMegadrop eventsRewards StationStaking benefits
This level of partnership gives Mantle strong exchange utility and visibility — which many emerging Layer 2s still lack.

🌱 Mantle EcoFund — Fueling the Future
Mantle also launched a $200 million EcoFund to invest in builders, early-stage projects, and technologies within the Mantle ecosystem.
This fund is backed by major players including:

Mirana VenturesDragonflyPanteraHashKeyAnimocaand more

The fund reflects Mantle’s commitment to supporting real adoption, not just token speculation.

Mantle is positioning itself not just as another L2, but as a serious financial network for the Web3 era.
Whether you’re a trader, builder, or long-term holder — MNT and Mantle are names worth

Ethereum is launching its most ambitious upgrade ever.
Ethereum Foundation researcher Justin Drake has unveiled Lean Ethereum, a plan to transform the network over the next 10 years.

What's promised:
✅ Massive network acceleration without expensive and slow transactions (10,000,000 TPS on Layer 1 (now ~15 TPS)
- 1,000,000 TPS at L2)
✅ Ethereum will become unhackable even for quantum computers
✅ More modularity and flexibility for developers (new EVM 2. 0 virtual machine (possibly on RISC-V)
✅ Ecosystem will be cleaner, more minimalistic and easier to scale

✅ Less dependency on external solutions, more resilience (Beacon Chain 2.0 and new consensus)

Pavel Durov is trying to demonstrate the maximum financial efficiency of the project before the IPO.
🎁 In messenger, the rating is calculated not from social activity: number of messages, chats, etc., but from money spent! As one of my coworkers accurately noted, it's as if Telegram is not a messenger but a marketplace.
💡 Everything makes sense: in 2020 Salesforce acquired messenger Slack for 27.7 billion, while Amazon is valued at 2.5 trillion, that is 90 times more.
📈 Just now there was discussion of a possible valuation of Telegram at IPO of 30 billion, which is clearly too low. Here we need to show that Telegram is incredibly successful as a business, so financial metrics come to the forefront everywhere.

Just finished watching Powell’s latest speech, and I’ve got some hot news for you. Buckle up — here’s what’s happening with our rates 👇
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
😤 In short: The Fed did it to us again
Friends, the rate is still stuck at 4.25–4.50%. Yep, I was hoping for a cut too — but nope…
💭 You know what’s wild? Powell literally said (quote):

“We would’ve already cut rates if it weren’t for the tariffs.”
So yeah. They want to cut — but they’re scared Trump’s tariffs will ignite inflation. That’s the catch 🤷‍♂️
━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🍿 Now for the juicy part — drama!
Trump’s fuming! He called Powell “terrible” and shouted that he’s always late with everything. Imagine the scene 😅
Meanwhile, Powell stays calm and replies: “The economy is strong — no need to rush.”
Feels like a political reality show 📺
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
📊 So what’s next? Here’s my take:
I’ve gone through all the data, and this is what I think:
🎯 July 30 – next Fed meeting. I’ll bet my morning coffee that nothing changes (81% odds according to the market)
🍂 September–October – now it gets interesting. Two 0.25% cuts are possible. But only if tariffs don’t send inflation soaring
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🤫 Fed Insider Info
Fun fact: there’s a split inside the Fed! Two board members (Waller and Bowman) are already openly saying: “Let’s cut in July!”
But Powell and the majority are against it. Classic doves vs. hawks 🕊
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
💡 What does this mean for us?

✅ Mortgages – forget about lower rates for now
✅ Savings – now’s the time to lock in high deposit yields
✅ Dollar – will stay strong for at least a couple more months
✅ Stocks – expect serious ups and downs
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
📱 My advice:
No panic! Sure, rates aren’t coming down yet, but it’s not the end of the world. Use this time wisely:

1️⃣ Got debt? Pay it off faster
2️⃣ Got spare cash? Lock in some good deposit deals
3️⃣ Stay tuned to the news (and follow me 😉)

━━━━━━━━━━━━━

🔔 Don’t forget: July 30 at 9:00 PM Moscow time — the next Fed meeting. I’ll be going live and breaking it all down!

And let me know in the comments — when do you think the Fed will finally start cutting rates?

Sveiki visiem! Nolēmu izskaidrot, kas šobrīd notiek ar kriptovalūtām, jo daudzi cilvēki jautā.
Kāpēc Bitcoin šobrīd iet traki:
Tā būtībā galvenais ir tas, ka 2024. gadā apstiprināja Bitcoin ETF. Tagad parastie cilvēki var iegādāties Bitcoin caur parastajiem brokeriem, nevis jādomā par visām šīm makiem un lietām.

Turklāt liela nauda iegādājas $27 miljardus caur ETF, pieaugot par 114% ceturksnī - tas ir vienkārši neprātīgi! Bankas, pensiju fondi - visi pērk.
Un visi redz Bitcoin kā “digitālo zeltu” pret inflāciju. Turklāt parastā FOMO - visi baidās palaist garām.
